A Quick Look at Siena Heights
The Saints are coming off being handed their first loss of the season to Central Methodist (Mo.) 73-65 last Saturday to close out their Thanksgiving Tournament. Last year's first-team All-WHAC selection Sierra Calhoun led the effort for Siena Heights with 29 points. Calhoun's 18.1 points scored in all seven games played ranks 29^th in the NAIA Division II.
 
Panthers vs. Saints
This will be the 22^nd meeting between Davenport and Siena Heights. The Panthers have won the last 17 contests. The last time the Saints claimed a victory was in 2007.
 
The Last Time They Met
After four lead changes within the final 2:15, Siena Heights got a layup with 14 seconds left but Kia Frazier's layup with 4.3 left lifted the Panthers to a 75-74 edging victory over the Saints to clinch its fifth straight WHAC Tournament championship in front of a roaring crowd at the Student Center last March. Kayleigh VanKeulen had a key performance off the bench leading four Panthers (31-1) in double figures with 16 points, following by Alison Bouman's 15, Brittany Johnson's 12 and Tiesha Stokes 11. Davenport shot 50 percent (29-for-58) from the floor while holding the Saints (25-8) to 44.4 percent (28-for-63). Although Calhoun led the effort for the Saints with 21, Alexxis Knannlein finished with 17 points and 14 rebounds for the only double-double. Grace Howrigon also finished the evening with 17 points.
